Yes, yes it is a shame

Walked into the West Roxbury Panera to discover they have a weekly singalong for the under-3 set every Thursday. For some reason, one of the songs the guitarist chose was "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," whose lyrics he modified slightly:

So it's root, root, root for the Red Sox
If they don't win it's a shame

Yes, we start 'em young here in RSN.

Meanwhile, Soxaholix reaches for the hemlock and reminds us about the 1988 Orioles.

Adam, I'm not sure what was so different about those lyrics.

If it's the fact that he said "Red Sox", well, pretty much every team tries to fit itself into those two beats.

Oooo-rioles
Blue Jays
Braaaaa-aaaves

There are 40,000 people in Fenway every home game who see those lyrics on the scoreboard and hear it sung that way. It's not exactly revolutionary.

It was:

If they don't win it's the same...
